Generational Odyssey

Generational Odyssey: A Father and Son's Journey from Hobby to Business is a story told thru the eyes of the son as he tries to help his dad sell thru a half a million sports cards and collectibles that he has held onto for his entire 75 year life, coincidently while the country was mainly in lockdown from a global pandemic.

Separated by generations, but connected through blood, this father and son duo was able to take a childhood passion from a hobby to a business. From a basement in the heartland of America that was full of roughly half a million pieces of cardboard, collectibles, and anything not nailed down, to an online marketplace that has sold, shipped, and delivered tens of thousands of them to a dozen different countries around the globe, this odyssey is just getting started.
